KUWAIT: The Gulf University for Science and Technology (GUST), located in Mishref, has issued an internal memorandum (dress code) for both staff and students regarding their attire. The university with an approximate student enrollment for the 2009-10 academic year of 3,200, including MBA students, has banned the wearing of indecent outfits such as very tight, very short or transparent outfits for girls. Guys are prohibited from wearing shorts and beach sandals.''

LOL- and that will, of course solve all the academic problems.......not.

Exactly. It was addressed only to the students. Of course staff already have a dress code in place - although as usual it is seldom enforced. You see where the emphasis is - just like the Parliament - the unimportant things. That way the real issues will be forgotten while they are running around trying to tell people how to behave. Although it will be interesting to see just how they will enforce it when they can't even bother to enforce an attendance policy.
